Joann married Edgar C Butterbaugh on Augest 2, 1952.  He preceded her in death on April 12, 2011.  She and Edgar were parents to four children: Jeffrey Butterbaugh, Tuscon, AZ; Jon (Debbie) Butterbaugh, Alexandria, VA; Janet (David) Weber, Harrisburg, PA and Jane Schmidt, Kansas City, MO.  Also surviving are two brothers: James W.

She graduated from Whitmer High School, Ohio and Manchester College, North Manchester, IN. She was an elementary teacher and a homemaker.   Joann taught school in Lucas County, Ohio before marrying in 1952.  She resided in Chicago, IL until moving to Tuscon, AZ in 1962 seeking to improve the health of her oldest son, Jeff, who suffered with asthma.  Joann's 30+ years in Tucson were devoted to her children and numerous volunteer organizations.  From the ground up, Joann developed and co-chaired Mobile Meals of Tuscon, the city's first locally funded meal delivery service to shut-ins.  In 1968 she was recognized for her efforts with the Mayor and City Council for Mobile Meals.  She will be remembered as a dedicated wife and mother.  She was a member of Manchester Church of the Brethren.  Joann loved life at Timbercrest where she worked in the gift shop, sang in the Timbercrest Choir and cared for plants in the "Fernery."  She readily volunteered for other responsibilities as they came along.
